Bringing back the weekend recap

Friday:
Went to see Shutter Island. I thought it was a horror movie/something I wouldn't want to see so I let my dad tell me the twist (don't worry I won't spoil it!). Since it is actually more of a psychological thriller I decided to check it out. I was glad I knew the twist before I saw it. But I am the type of person that usually reads TV spoilers and flips to the back of a book ;) For dinner we went to El Sombrero in Manhattan Beach. Seriously one of the best quesadillas I have ever had!

Saturday:

Went to brunch at Cafe Montana with some relatives who were in town. I thought about popping into Cabana but it was pouring and I was wearing flip flops and no outer layer (weather.com said 30% chance of rain so I stupidly risked it). Next we headed to Brentwood Country Mart. I will be featuring a favorite store from there later this week.

Saturday night was amazing. I know there are a few LOST fans out there reading. I went to the LOST panel that was part of this year's PaleyFest. The actors who play Locke, Ben, and Richard, along with the creative team (writers and producers), were all there in person. There are great recaps HERE and HERE. I thought Ter*ry O'Quinn (Locke) and Michael Eme*rson (Ben) were really funny together. I hope the rumor of them reuniting on a new show is true! Here are some photos I took:
The whole panel:


Richard (who made a joke about wearing guyliner):


Producers/Writers/Director:


Locke and Ben!


Sunday:
I finally went through the huge box of paperwork, cards/letters, and photos that has been sitting in my hallway for months. I am not a procrastinator when it comes to schoolwork but I will always put off things like this (I STILL haven't started my Australia scrapbook!). As a reward I went to Yogurtland YUM!

I have not seen shutter island but I guessed the ending. I saw Memento about a year ago and it has a similar ending.

I can't believe you look up spoilers and flip to the back of the book. That just aint right girl! hahah

Glad you had a fun weekend, I'm not into LOST but I know 100 friends who prob would have loved to go to that panel!

I am scared to see Shutter Island! I am still a Lost fan, that sounded awesome!

Elle said...

Sounds like you had a great weekend... shutter island does look so scary to me, is gCe right, is it similar to memento? Maybe I'll rent it when it comes out if it's not completely scary!

Hoping to see Shutter Island this week! All of my friends saw it over the weekend, and I'm BEGGING them not to tell me anything about it yet :)

Would you believe me if I told you that my mother dated Terry O'Quinn in college? Seriously! Only his name was Terry Quinn in those days! I hope someday I can run into him and tell him my mom says Hi! Lol!
